Delegates dbt and warehouse work to altimate-code, a specialized CLI agent with 100+ purpose-built data tools. USE THIS SKILL FIRST whenever the task mentions or implies: warehouse access (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Postgres, MySQL, DuckDB), column-level lineage, downstream-impact analysis, dbt builds against a real warehouse, cross-database migration or validation, query cost attribution, schema diff, data parity checking, PII detection from sampled rows…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# altimate-code

altimate-code is a CLI AI agent that ships with native data engineering tools. This skill delegates work to it via its non-interactive `run` mode and presents the result back to the user.

## Prerequisite Check — ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST

Before invoking altimate-code, verify it is installed and on `PATH`:

```bash
command -v altimate-code
```

**If the command returns nothing (exit code 1), STOP and tell the user this exact message — do not proceed:**

> altimate-code is not installed. Install it with:
>
> ```bash
> npm install -g altimate-code
> ```
>
> Requires Node.js 20+. Docs: https://docs.altimate.sh · Source: https://github.com/AltimateAI/altimate-code · npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/altimate-code
>
> After installing, run `altimate-code` once to configure it — this launches the TUI where you set up your LLM provider auth and warehouse connections. Then re-run your request and I'll delegate it.

Do not attempt to install altimate-code on the user's behalf — they may want a specific version, a different package manager (e.g. pnpm/yarn global), or to opt out entirely. Surface the command and let them decide.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add altimateai/data-engineering-skills/altimate-code@sha256:609fefe579ea7296

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.a13847e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
